Mixing old and new is nothing new, but it’s always inspiring. After all, we shouldn’t let great ideas go to waste, shall we? Delightfully feminine Katherine Pont, the designer for MINE, a London based clothing line. Her collections are consistently romantic embellished with hand-drawn embroideries telling stories about the inspiration behind the design. This autumn, Mine is a collection that pays homage to Aztec inspired Art Deco and 1920’s screen muses.
The collection is subtle in its glamorisation; the soft illustrated digital prints on layered sheer silk cottons are combined with hammered silk, drapey jacquards and wool jerseys. Tailoring hints are embellished with embroidered bows, square buttons and checks like windows, while quilting echoes harlequins and pleats are like the tiers of a building.

those tights made me stop in my tracks…. or scrolling!
me too.. but then again, i didn’t want to do yet another post about the tights of lookbooks…
Wow! Those are really intriguing shots. What a fabulous aesthetic!
I am IN LOVE with this girls hair and skin.
I love the second and third look best. Although the whole aesthetic is beautiful.
Have to stop thinking “but I wouldn’t look as good in this because I’m not as thin as the model”, though. Shame on me!
I love Mine…. such an accessible label…. and really REALLY reasonable price-wise!
truly beautiful! those shorts are my favourite. i shall be looking for stockists..
I lost track of your blog for a month! It doesn’t update in my google reader for some reason, I thought you were busy traveling ’round Germany, lol. Lucky me I get to read thru many old posts now to catch up!
I am really into graphic tights for fall (ala Chanel runway), and I imagine that I’ll have to get my hands on the pair you just featured sooner or later. Thanks for sharing, love!

most inspiring designer I’ve seen in awhile. The past collections arebeautiful too, and every piece looks trendy and unique, but also timeless enough that it will never go out of style.
